You made excellent suggestions, which we incorporated into our plans, ending with a finished result we liked even better than what we had originally thought we wanted."

M.J. Whelan Construction is characterized by outstanding design. We strive to bring a new level of integrity and personalization to every project. By combining creativity, innovation, and years of experience, we can help you carry your project from design to construction. We start by evaluating your existing space to help you to determine what design options will fit your budget. From a rough sketch to preliminary floor plans to the final working drawings, our designer will work together with you to cultivate your ideas into real design solutions. You are the most important member of our design team and our designs are driven by your individual needs and style. We know that each of our clients has their own unique personality and style, so we take pride in working with you to make your space work for you. With your ideas and our proven methods, we look forward to partnering to design a fresh, functional space that will breathe new life into your home. Or, if you already have your own design, we welcome the opportunity to work with you to make your blueprints come to life. See our Inspired Design's page.

As your family and interests grow, it is essential that your home fits your family’s increasing needs. Whether you are adding more space or better utilizing the space you already have, the possibilities are endless. Home additions are an excellent investment. It is the smart solution for people who would like a larger home and the opportunity for customization, but without the cost and stress of building a completely new home or relocating. At M.J. Whelan, we create outstanding custom designs that perfectly compliment your home’s existing architecture for a unified finish. From comfy in-law quarters to handicap accessible bathrooms to attached garage expansions, home additions can significantly increase your home’s value. See our Home Additions and Renovations Page or our Renovations and Additions Photo Gallery for idea's and inspiration.

Why relocate when you can create the home of your dreams from your existing home? Remodeling can create value for living and transform your current home into a beautiful new living space that suits your lifestyle.

We can even create entirely new floor plans with or without an addition by restructuring your existing interior walls to suit your changing needs. As little ones grow up and eventually leave the nest, many homes are left with empty rooms that begin to collect junk and dust. Why waste the space when you can restructure the rooms to create a larger, more comfortable master suite with the walk-in closet and master bath you’ve always dreamed of?

Turn your outdated kitchen into an elegant and functional workspace with a timeless traditional or contemporary cabinet design tailored to the utmost efficiency and suited to your individual needs. Perhaps your vision includes an eclectic or transitional design, or enjoy a taste of Old World style with an Italian Tuscan kitchen, complete with tumbled marble countertops and rich detailed trim. The kitchen is one of the most popular rooms to remodel with one of the highest returns on investment. We can add furniture-like cabinets, state of the art appliances, heated tile floors, trendy range hoods, multilevel islands, and many other features to make your cooking experience more efficient and enjoyable. Even the smallest of details, such as the addition of unique decorative trim or under-cabinet lighting, can make your old kitchen look and feel brand new.

"Thanks to you and your team for the wonderful job on our remodeled bathroom. You went above and beyond our original agreement. For that, as well as how well our bathroom turned out, we are very thankful".

After a long day at work or school, your home should be your warm retreat. What better place to find relaxation than the room with rest at its very origin. Your “rest” room should be your daily spa retreat, complete with a luxurious Jacuzzi tub, rich mahogany stained vanities, contemporary crown molding and custom granite tops. Luxury = Style + Comfort. Who says you can’t have both?See many beautiful bathrooms on our Bathroom Designs page or Gallery of Photos.

Have you been putting off finishing your basement? Well wait no longer! At M.J. Whelan, we know what it takes to turn your "wreck" room into a "Rec" room, wet bar, kitchenette or even a full kitchen. Years ago, basements were used for little more than a store all or a hiding spot for utilities. Now more than ever, people are building and remodeling their basements as an extension to their home's living space. With the addition of a bathroom, bedroom, fireplace, soundproof music room, cultured stone, coffered or trey ceilings, your basement can have as much character as any other room in your house.

Custom built cabinetry adds functionality to any room. Our expert designers will work with you to create a custom plan to build a “nook” for all your “crannies,” and make the “junk drawer” a thing of the past. We can build shelving units to your specifications with truly original detailing and finishes, or create a unique and elaborate wall unit for your state of the art home theater system, complete with theater seating. We will not only give you a solution for your 13 different remotes with a new home theater unit, but we can also design an aesthetically pleasing and practical space to entertain for years to come. See great spaces down under on our Basement Design page and in our Gallery of Basement's photo's.

Best of all, we will work within your budget and we stand behind our work. We take as much pride in your project as you do.

We believe that value is more than just a good price. It is about getting what you want, how you want it and exceeding your expectations. We also know that the success of your remodeling project relies on several different factors:

An efficient and practical design.

High quality materials.

Respect for your budget and unique style.

Forethought for potential problems.

Experienced craftsmen with an unwavering commitment to excellence.
